Hello I know that I should look first and make a thread later, and I did but I still cant find shop in Europe where I could get 18 individualized keycaps for my CM Storm Quickfire. Could anybody tell me if I can buy them and if yes where :)
Thank you very much :)

You could grab one of these (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Cherry-Tastatur-MultiBoard-G81-7000-BLACK-Magnetkarten-/360916172338?pt=DE_Computing_Tastaturen_Keypads&hash=item540847be32) and steal it's keycap set. Then you get Czech layout and nicer keycap as well.

... except that a lot of keys are not a perfect match.
Still, the Cherry G80 keys are quite nice. Much liked around here.

Ahhh a Czech! Dobrư den!

This is true, that model isn't the most ideal for a full cap set, but I could not find any other TS models for a decent price and it should not be too hard to get the rest of the necessary caps like the bottom row, right shift, etc from a bargain price used G80-3000 or a forum member.

Welcome to GH!
You can
- order a custom keycap set from WASD Keyboards, it's neither cheap, nor the best quality though;
- try to find a Cherry G80/G81 keyboard w/ Czech lettering, but some keycaps probably won't fit (because of their size) and if you mix sets, profiles (including key heights) won't match, it's uncomfortable IMO;
- use stickers;
- browse Aukro or raid thrift stores, but I already do that (and I do have two keyboards w/ Czech MX-compatible keycaps, one needs retrobright);
- touch type.
